[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A good portion of Tyson’s is now zoned for Langley. Purchasing a home zoned for Forestville is a huge gamble.

There are many large projects in the works for Tysons which will push Langley’s enrollment above capacity in the coming years.  These are all zoned for Langley.

Tysons Concourse redevelopment (~1,000+ units proposed)
Exchange at Spring Hill Station (~500+ affordable/workforce units)
Somos at McLean Metro (~450+ units)
Piazza at Tysons (~400–500 units conceptual)

While about 30% of Tysons will begin to feed into Langley starting this fall, you have the school assignment for 3 of the 4 redevelopment projects you mentioned wrong:

Tysons Concourse - Marshall
Exchange at Spring Hill Station - Marshall 
Somos at McLean Metro - Marshall
Piazza at Tysons - Langley

And, of course, the yields from these proposals will vary depending on the types of units built (studio and 1-bedroom units won't result in a lot of HS-age kids), and in any event could be offset by declines in the number of students coming from other Langley neighborhoods.  Further, as mentioned earlier, Langley has been accepting about 100 pupil placements per year for foreign language and AP.  FCPS is shutting off student transfers for foreign language, and if Langley gets more crowded it can shut down transfers for AP as well.  [/quote]
